I remember receiving a handwritten welcome card and Nelson-Jameson gift when I was hired. That had never happened to me before when starting at a new company. I knew then this was going to be a special place to work. Although there have been highs and lows, like in any other workplace, that feeling of being a part of something special has remained.
